REMEMBER WHEN: Ready to serve

They were ready to serve. Members of the First Aid Corps at Elm Terrace Hospital are shown dressed in uniforms, according to information provided by Herb Dirks of Harleysville. He shares this photo he found amongst his mother’s possessions — the late Mary Dirks. She was a member of the corps. According to www.amh.org/lansdale/aboutus/lansdale-history/, doctor Frank E. Boston established the then private hospital in 1934 at Seventh and Broad streets. It had 23 beds. It later became a non-profit and renamed North Penn Hospital. After decades of growth, the entity moved to Hatfield Township in the 1970s. It is now Abington Health Lansdale Hospital. Do you know anything about this group or this photo?
